Resource optimization through geological and petrophysical characterization of downdip Frio shoreface/shelf sandstone reservoirs: Red Fish Bay field, south Texas Resource optimization through geological and petrophysical characterization of downdip Frio shoreface/shelf sandstone reservoirs: Red Fish Bay field, south Texas 1998

Located in Nueces County, 5 mi southeast of Aransas Pass in Corpus Christi Bay, Red Fish Bay field has yielded more than 19 MMbbl of liquid hydrocarbons and 103 Bcf of gas from more than 50 stacked Frio Sandstone reservoirs since field discovery in 1950.
